About Me

This has been a complicated year - one that I want to go back in time and make changes, but I can only move forward and hope not to make the same mistakes. I'm hoping that I learned to laugh louder, hug longer and tell my friends how much they mean to me.
I started a new job (and lost it during bank lay offs). Started a second business flipping homes (which turned into rental homes due to the market). Lost my Mom to a brain tumor and am living part time in Louisiana and part time in Charlotte. I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted and now.............. well, I'm thinking what I really need is much different and the very thought makes me smile. As my Mom always said, I had the power to get home all along, I just didn't know I needed click my heels three times.
I give to a fault which was taken advantage and the old "don't know what you have until it's gone" is not flying this time.
I'd like to laugh more and walk around with a smile all day thinking about the next time I'm going to see YOU .
I love hugs and public displays of affection - didn't get much of that the first time around so I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid to hold hands, hug and really long kisses.
I'm in better shape than I've been in a long time and want to be with someone who also enjoys working out and physical activity.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A guy who can help me to regain my sense of spontaneity. I need to get out more and push my comfort zone.
My idea of a great night could be anywhere you are - grilling out on my deck, hanging by the pool or lake (and yes, skinny dipping is allowed, even encouraged), having a cold one sitting outside a hole in the wall,but I also love hitting a night on the town. I'm always open to joining a crowd too.

AND DID I SAY HE MUST BE HONEST...... I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING AS LONG AS THERE IS HONESTY.
Someone who loves to dance or enjoys live music. I just can't seem to "dislike" any music if it's live (except rap).
I need someone who is confident and appreciates my strong sense of independence. I am comfortable around most anyone and my job requires me to work at an executive level - timid guys would get lost in the crowd.
